One Of Those Dreams

"Today is the fourth day since I set off." The old traveler stares at me. His cold gaze sends chills down my spine, I can’t help but stare back.

"Today is the fourth. See, there were countless days in my journey, but I only count four." The old man continues, pointing his callous finger in some direction, "the first day I was born. On the second day, I met a squirrel. On the third day, I burned my house. On the fourth day, I reached my destination."

"I know you’re looking for a new beginning. A glorious path to a legendary adventure. But do you know how your story ends?" He pauses to pass me his beer as he says this.

"After all, we’re all heading to our ends."
